OARBONATED LIQUID.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 1 1, 1908.

Application filed April 23. 1906- Scrial No. 313,326.

I of a carbonated liquid consisting of a novel combination of certain wholesome ingredients in'such.' )roportions as will carbonate or give ofi a gas which causes the entire beverage, through chemical change, to crean'i on exposure to the air, thereby providing a refreshing and palatable liquid which is ready for immediate use. The carbonated liquid is intendedto be contained in siphons and similar vessels for use at soda fountains and v agitation or shaking, it

also on fruits or fancy drinks of all kinds.

The invention is carried out by the emloyment of the following ingredients, cornl'lined in the following proportions, viz, for a siphon for a 28 oz. capacity, to 4 oz. of water Wlll be added 16 oz. of simple syrup; one oz.

of glycerin; one oz. of the desired fruit acid contained in citric acid crystals obtained from limes and lemons; one oz. of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), and the white of one egg. This mixture will be flavored and colored to suit. The liqqid may be made up in larger uantities in the same general proportions of t e ingredients as above indicated. When the liquid is mixed in the siphon or other vessel, it presents a clear appearance, but upon ecomes creamy and likewise it creams instantly on exposure to the air. The liquid will have a clear ap' earance of the particular color which is use and all colors may be employed. Owing to the density of the liquid in the siphon due to the compression of gas evolved by neutralizing the acid by the bicarbonate of soda, the" air is entirely eliminated and hence, when the liquid. isexposed to the air, the gas is liberated and replaced by the air which causes the liquid to immediately transform into aoreamy substance.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as'new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1.. The process of making a carbonated liquid which consists in adding a bicarbonate acid and albumen and sealing 1 container after the carbon oxid has been to a mixture of simple syrup, glycerin, fruit the same in a' sufficiently liberated to drive atmospheric air out of the container, whereby the bottled liquid will be in condition to liberate a creamy mass when a restricted outlet is formed in the container.

2. A carbonated liquid composed of the following ingredients, viz.: simple syrup, glycerin, fruit acid, bicarbonate of soda, and' albumen in substantially the proportions specified, being a liquid when confined under t e' pressure of the evolved gas and transforming into a creamy consistency when the gas is liberated and air admitted.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto aifix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
